PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
There are numerous professional bodies offering support, advice and education for the fledgling designer. Most countries have them. Most require membership fees and in return you get helpful advice and useful opportunities to learn more about design and design-related matters from fellow professionals. Of course, some designers prefer to remain aloof from communal activities: they see joining design institutions as a step towards losing their independent status and becoming linked to the design establishment; they tend to dismiss professional organizations as smug and self-admiring. Others, with more clubbable instincts, camaraderie that come with banding together with like-minded individuals, and become energetic participants The fundamental altruism of the various professional bodies and associations, and the degree to which they promote the interests of design and designers, cannot be questioned. In recent years, they have made conspicuous and vigorous efforts to become more inclusive, with particular emphasis on helping and encouraging students and recent graduates. They run lectures, educations sessions and have made extensive and effective use of online material. But, inevitably, in their attempt to become all-encompassing, they tend to represent the mainstream; if you interests are in the margins and slipstreams of design and contemporary culture, they are perhaps less relevant to you. Whether you join is a matter of personal judgment.
